DOAIALD NICOLL, in addressing the com pany, observed that, by means of railway communi cation, it was understood that the residents of that highly-respectable and daily.increasing metropoli tan outskirt district would, in the course of a short time, be enabled to reach the very heart of the city of London, if the Lothbury side of the Bank of Eng. land could be so called, in a period of time not ox' ceeding 17 minutes,and it had teibn felt by those who had entered upon the enterprise that at the point of junction of several important lines connecting with the great metropolis ample hotel aecommodas tion was absolutely necessary. Although coming there to enjoy what he had contemplated would be rural retirement for himself and his family, he had he said yielded to the desire for commercial specu lation, and had consented to give up his property for the erection of a neighbourhood on which 600 or 700 villa residences were to be erected, and which would no doubt, in the course of a few years, be one of the finest in London. The Palmerston Hotel is situate at the entrance of the West End Park estate, from the eastward side of the Egdware-road, forming the corner of the road to be designated the " Palmerston-road," comprised of semi-detached villa residences, and upwards of a mile in length. The design is that of Mr J. Parker, the architect, and the lessee and builder is Mr E, Bannister. The hotel will have a very handsome stone front, on which will be emblazoned the noble premier's heraldic symbols. After the company had witnessed the ceremony West End Park and Mr Parker, the chair.

From 1831 to 1860 the num ber of men rejected annually under the standard of P 56 metres, or 611 in, varied frorn 9'28 to 5.6 per cent ; but there was a gradual, thou gh not perfectly uniform, lessening in the number of rejections on this ground in successive years ; or, in other words, the height of the men forming the con script classes has been artm gradually augmenting. On classing the conscripts by depents, it appears that the number of exemptions for want of stature, from 1831 to 1860, have augmented in 19, and lessened in 63. This must indicate a gradual improvement in the nutrition and bodily develop ment of the population, consequent on the long term of peace and the lessened number of strong young men carried off from the population, M. Boudin states that, from a study of the height of mon in the departments, it is evident that race has a predominant influence. It appears from a table of the heights of the French army in 1561 and 1862 that 15 per cent are below 63in, that more than 50 per cent aro between 63 and GGin in height, 32 per cent above sft Gin, and 7 per cent above sft Bin. By a decree of 1860 the , height for the respective arms varied from 1.70 metres (69 inchea) the highest (oarabi" e ") , to 1•56 (611 inche , ) the lowest (for the infantry of the line and chasseurs). The stature of the English army is taken from the Army Me dical report of 1860. In that year 1•5 per cent were below sft 3in, 49 per cent were between sft 3in and sft Gin, 49 per cent were above sft Gin, and 15 per cant were above sft Bin. The weights of the French conscripts are not given. It may be useful to place here those of the English recruits of 1860, as given by Dr Balfour :—Weight of 10,000 re cruits—Below 100 lb, 157; from 1001 b to 1101 b, 663; from 1101 b to 1201 b, 2,296 ; 1201 b to 1301 b, 2,817 ; 130 to 1401 b, 2,090 ; 1101 b to 1501 b, 1,254 ; 150 to 1601 b, 488 ; 1601 b to 1701 b, 180 ; above 1701 b, 65 ; MIL 10,000, 4.7 1 .5 7 , _ , .:„,..„ At ,„,„, 11 , k - -iv I • 1r 4C. I .„. _ _ I suppose that most of my readers know that the candidates for the Presidency and Vice-Presidency are not voted for directly by the people, but that each State chooses according to its population -a certain number of electors, New York, for instance, 35, and Delaware 3, who elect the President and Vice-President, and who form the body known as the Electoral College. But as these men are always pledged to vote for certain candidates, it may be supposed Viet the result of the election is the same as if it were made by a direct vote of the people. Not so in ono very important respect. For instance, iu the election of 1860 Mr Lincoln bad in the Elec toral College (which by the way never meets) 180 votes, Breckenridge 72 votes, Bell 39, and Doug las 12. Mr Lincoln's majority over all his oppo. nents was therefore very large, 57 in the Electoral College. But in the popular vote, although he had a small plurality over Douglas (the Democrat who, observe, received most votes from the people, yet least in the Electoral College), he was in a minority of nearly 1,000,000 as against all his opponents. This was caused by the division of the Demo cratic party, which had three candidates in the field. It is plain, then, that if the Demo• cratic party can be united upon one man, Mr Lin coln will be defeated, unless a change has taken place in the convictions of a considerable propors tion of that party. This its leaders deny, saying, on the contrary, that Mr Lincoln's Administration has alienated even these who first supported him. At the last election Mr Lincoln received 1,857,610 ballots, having from the States now under " Con federate" control not a single ballot. Mr Lincoln's three opponents received 2,804,560. But in ex amining present probabilities, it is obviously neces sary to subtract from this number the number of votes cast against Mr Lincoln in the States now in insurrection—Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North and South Carolina, Texas, and Virginia. Upon a careful calculation I find that the number of ballots cast against Mr Lincoln is thus reduced to 2,095,298, leaving the majority against him on the popular vote in the States now under control of our Government 237,681. If, then, the old Democratic party still holds together, and votes together, Mr Lincoln will surely be defeated at the coming election, even without the aid of the ten States which four years ago cast all their votes against him. But will the Democratic party hold together ? I think that it will to a very much greater degree than the new Union party are inclined to believe. A very heavy vote will be cast for General M'Clellan, and unless experience of this war has purged the commonweal and purified us more than I fear it has, there is a chanco of his election, although, as you w ill see, a defection of 150,000 votes from the party will give the popular vote to Mr Lincoln. He must carry New York, or he will be defeated. —New York Correspondent of the Spectator. yP ? , 1 1,;, # t PRICE .4d.

BERNE, Sept. 21. A lengthy report has been sent in by the Swiss Federal Council to the Federal Assembly conoern• ing the election disturbances which recently took place at Geneva. After detailing the events already known, and stating the measures adopted by the Federal com missioners to restore tranquillity, the report refers as follows to the rumours of the riots having been occasioned by foreign influence : As it had been ascertained that strangers were also con cerned in the occurrences of the 22d August, the Federal commissioners considered it advisable to institute inquiries as to the surveillance over foreigners maintained by the police. Evidence was obtained that a considerable num ber of partially• dangerous rabble was present, and that the management of the police leaves much to be wished for. It would be very desirable if an improvement could ba effected in this matter, which is still under the consideration of the commissioners. We must take this opportunity of alluding to the rumours which originated in Geneva, and have spread throughout Switzerland, that the occurrences of Aug. 22 were brought about by influence from abroad. We have, however, not discovered the slightest ground for any such supposition; and the rumour associated therewith—that French troops had been concentrated upon the frontier—has been shown to be utterly incorrect. The rumour referred to may never theless have contributed to the step subsequently adopted by the French Government in the internisation of M. Fazy, who evaded the order of the Federal juge d'instruction to appear before him by withdrawing to French territory. These are the most important points which have guided us in constant agreement with our commissioners. We are glad to be able to state here that as the Federal Council has throughout been unanimous in the resolutions it has adopted, it has always been its agreeable duty upon every occasion to approve and ratify the measures of its commissioners. The latter occupied a very difficult position amidst the excited factions, and it was not to be expected that they, any more than the Federal Councl, could escape various ex pressions of distrust. We consider it therefore incumbent upon us to state here publicly that these Federal officials have throughout enjoyed our fullest confidence. In the above we have communicated to you measures already belonging to the past, and with respect to which we only seek your approval. Regarding further action wo are at present unable to recommend any steps, but must content ourselves with asking you for more extended powers. Although we hope that the Federal occupation will be speedily lessened, and in the sequel entirely with drawn, it would not bo at present possible to give definite assurances to that effect. Much will depend upon the result of the Federal investigation. Wear() of opinion that full scope must bo allowed to justice, in order that a clear picture of the occurrences of the 22nd of August should be displayed to the entire Confederation at the ensuing assizes, which we think should be held at Geneva. _ _ _ Casting, finally, a comprehensive glance upon the whole matter, every Swiss must deeply lament the occurrences in Geneva, as in more than one respect sickly vagaries of democratic life. They contain, however, light as well as shadow. The events of Geneva have served to display our collective Federal institutions to all the greater advantage. It is a very gratifying fact that the mere announcement of impending Federal intervention caused factions in a state of the greatest excitement to cease from acts of violence. The Federal commissioners were received with undivided satisfaction, the Federal troops with rejoicing by bath parties. Instead of the Confederates expected to celebrate a holiday, they came with a different and far more serious mission. But their rapid appearance at the cry for help may afford Geneva proof how near is Federal aid in the time of need, and how it will not be wanting in the hour of danger. The assembly of our troops in readiness to march in the course of not more than 12 hours, with their subse quent excellent behaviour, affords favourable testimony to the condition of our means of defence and the spirit of our Federal army. The report concludes with a recommendation of the Council that the Federal Assembly shall adopt the following resolutions :- 1. The steps taken by the Federal Council for the recto• ration of order in Geneva are approved. 2. The Federal Council is empowered to allow the Fede ral commissioners and troops in occupation to remain at Geneva so long as circumstances require their presence. 3, The necessary credit for this purpose will be opened by the Federal Council. 4. The Federal Council is requested to lay a further re port on this matter before the Federal Assembly during the winter session. Hurst and Blackett, 13, Great Marlborough-street.

Wills and Bequests. The will of Lieut.• Col. Sir Edward Brackenbury, K.T.S., K.F.M., C.8.A., of Skendleby Hall, near Spileby, Lincolnshire, was proved in London on the 2d instant, the executors nominated being Captain Charles B. Brackenbury, Royal Artillery, the act ing executor, and William Garfit, Esq., banker, of Boston, who renounced the grant. The will bears date 1862, and there are three codicils, the last dated March, 1864. The gallant colonel distin guished himself, not only in British but in foreign service, and received the following orders :—Knight of the Portuguese Order of the Tower and Sword, Knight of the Spanish Order of St Ferdinand, Commander of the Portuguese Order of St Bento d'Avis, and Knight Bachelor of these realms. Sir Edward had retired from the Army, and held the office of Deputy Lieutenant for the county of Lincoln. He succeeded to his estates in 1828; was twice married, and died, on the Ist of June last, a widower, at the age of seventy-nine. His mansion and landed estates are entailed on his eldest son and issue; and, after leaving legacies to several of his relatives, to servants, and to the poor of his locality, he appoints his sons, Edward Fenwick Brackenbury, and Arthur Charles Brackenbury, residuary legatees of his per sonal property. The will of Joseph Vickers, Esq., of Park Villas, Maida-hill West, was proved, in London, under £lOO,OOO, the executors and trustees being Charles Vickers, Etq. (his brother-in-law), and Henry B. Walmsley, Esq. (his son-in-law). The will was executed the sth of February last, and a codicil, July 15, five days before his death. He bequeaths to his sons Edward and James, and to his son-in-law, Mr H. B. Walmsley, £20,000 each, and they are appointed residuary legatees. His son John succeeded to the distillery business some time since, estimated at £60,000. There is an annuity to his son Benjamin Vickers, and legacies and some annuities to his grand children, brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces, and other relatives. The will of George Randall, Eq., of Lower Tooting, Surrey, was proved, in the London Court, under £30,000 personalty. After making several liberal bequests (including legacies to the following institutions—viz., the Free Hospital, Gray's-inn road, £2,ooo—Royal Sea•bathing Infirmary, Mare gate, £2,000; Blind School, Surrey, £500; and Royal Veterinary College, London, £l.000), he leaves the residue of his property to his executor, for his own use absolutely.—lllustrated London News. Cripplegate Church—A Milton Memorial. The Church of St. Giles, Cripplegate, was re-opened on Sunday last for divine service, after being closed since July for further progress towards perfect restoration as a Nati _mai Monument to the poet Milton. The Vicar preached both morning and evening : the morniug discourse was based on Psalm xcii.: " It is a good thing to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, 0 Most High." After referring to the present noble appearance of the church as a gratifying evidence of its former stateliness, the preacher eloquently dilated upon the improved musical services of the Church of England by the introduction, or rather restoration, of choirs ; tracing with considerable ability the narrowed views of the Pull tans, and consequent careless and lifeless performance of one of the most elevating portions of God's service, that should speak to the heart and awaken our best feelings to the beauty of holiness, calling upon the congregation to join in the praises of God in his sanctuary. The choral service at Cripplegate is purely congrega tional, without any vocal difficulties, if we except anthems; it will be well, however, for those who are able to sing in time, to procure Mercer's Psalter, noted, in order that they may properly unite in their antiphonal verses. The present appearance of the church is truly grand, the whole of the fine columns and arches aro now brought into it with striking effect, and call up pleasing memories of by-gone ages when our good old fathers were wont faithfully to preserve these temples of God, which Puritan zeal, and subsequent bad taste, have so cruelly mutilated. Most of the windows have also been restored, and filled _ _ with stained glass by parishioners. Colonel Wilson con tributed a handsome one last spring, and the daughter parish, St Luke, is now restoring the last window on the south side, as a tribute to her parent, and in honour of the memory of Milton. Public and local sympathy have done much, still much remains to be accomplished before the Church can claim to be a Milton Memorial ; the plaster ceiling must give place to an open roof ; the present Grecian clerestory windows and chancel arch be restored ; the western entrance opened, and the fine tower window and arch brought back to the former grandeur. It is a gratifying reflection, however, that so much has been effected within two years, and that amongst the subscribers are to be found the aristocracy and men of all creeds. Some £2,000 wily suffice to perfect the interior. What is so nobly begun than, let us hope will be wholly finished, that this Church the last resting-place of one whose work shall never die, m bear as honourably on its walls the munificence of the living, as the virtues of the dead, and that offerings of piety and love to honour the memory of Milton will enable the pro moters of this grand national tribute fully to carry out their great purpose.—City Press. The commercial public will be interested to learn that Messrs. Glass, Elliot, and Co., have this morn ing received a telegram announcing the reopening of the Malta and Alexandria telegraph for the transmission of messages to Egypt, India, China, Australia, &c. A RAILWAY TRAIN LIFTED FROM THE LINE BY A TORNADO.—A railroad train recently on its way from Cincinnati to Chicago was blown from the track, at a point near Wirtnell's Bridge, 15 miles below Lawrence burgh, by one of the most terrific tornadoes that have ever visited that section of the country. Aa the train ap proached the bridge the atmosphere seemed filled with branches of trees and missiles ct various kinds which the wind had taken up to its path, and the engineer, thinking the bridge unsafe, increased the speed of the engine so as to reach the protection of the hills beyond. le was too late, for the hurricane, restless in its energy, lifted the entire train into the air, and hurled the rear portion of it liver a steep bank, the baggage car, which was very heavily laden, being whirled diagonally across the track, and the rear of the first passenger car, still unoccupied, being sus pended over the precipice at the side of the track. The Train which happened to arrive at such an untimely mo ment, in the very focus of the wild hurricane, was heavily loaded with passengers, many of them being bound for the Chicago Convention—yet, strange to say, notwithstanding the increased speed with which the train was moving, and the height of the embankment down which the cars wero hurled, not ono person was killed. This may be considered a most miraculous escape, two of the cars having been com pletely wrecked and jammed to pieces, the seats dislocated and shattered into fragments, and everything lett in the most chaotic condition. From 30 to 40 persons were more or less injured, and two ladies, names not known, probably fatally, one of them, it is thought, having suffered a dislo cation of the spice.—cinfinnati agatto, Circular of Senor Gonzalez Bravo, MADRID, Sept. 20. The official ifaclria Gazette publishes the follow• ing circular of Senor Gonzalez Bravo, the new Mi , nsister of the Interior, to the governors of the pro vinces Madrid, Sept. 19 Raised by her Majesty's confidence to the post of Minister of the Interior, I consider it indispensable to acquaint your excellency with the intentions and ideas of the Government of which I form part, that you may well understand them yourself, and communicate them to your subordinates. Availing herself of the prerogative belonging to her by the terms of the constitution, the Queen has entrusted the for mation of the existing Ministry to the Duke of Valentia, upon whose eminent importance and political views it is un necessary to dwell. It was natural and just that the Minis try with whose organisation he was entrusted should re spond in the most liberal manner to the well-known iaten tions of the illustrious personage called upon to act as its president. The names of the present councillors of the Crown sufficiently testify in how far this object has been at tained without the necessity of entering into details which might in certain cases appear irreconcilable with the rigor ous and lofty obligations imposed by the Government of the State. The present Government is constituted, as I have said, by virtue of the free use of the constitutional preroga tive of the Queen. It proposes to execute and to cause due I respect to be paid to the political constitution and the laws of the monarchy by becoming acquainted with and morels- ing thorn with just and enlightened moderation, and by gra dually developing them in the liberal spirit of the ago in which we live, without forgetting the lessons of experience nor disregarding the significance of the circumstances by which we are surrounded. The State in Spain is a constitutional monarchy. The members of the Ministry in office are, as they have always been, proud of the monarchical and constitutional State. Their intention is to govern while submitting with pleasure to the recognised rules of representative institutions. In order that these precepts may be legitimately applied, it is absolutely indispensable that the authority of the Go- vernment and its agents shall possess the full plenitude and the full moral importance accorded them by virtue of these principles. The present Ministry thinks that every institu tion ought to operate with freedom and vigour within its respective limits. For this reason it desires that the liberty , of action which has been placed in its hands shall be deve loped energetically, and without obstacles following the im pulse of its will and the extension that shall spread—while impeding as little as possible—the legitimate progress of the institutions which it respects with sincerity, but without on that account renouncing by any means the use of its pro per attributes. Maturity and prudence in its resolutions do not prevent, but on the contrary require, the rigorous ful filment of what has been decided upon. The vigour and dignity of legitimate authority aro the most solid guarantees of public freedom. In eases where authority is in question, liberty and order are equally in danger. Anarchy is then inevitable. The above r("suine shows, in a few words, that the present Government does not come into power to satisfy the exag gerated requi:ements of any party, whether by hastening anxiously to content them, or by humiliating itself before them with puerile timidity. In the eyes of the prese nt Mi nistry legal crier is not made up of drvotre.3 of this or th at principle or systom, but of Spanish citizens worthy of re spect so long as they act within the limits of the law, but subject to its jurisdiction without exception, without consi deration, without hesitation of any kind, as soon as they violate its precepts. The accession to power of the present advisers of the Crown is, therefore, not the triumph of a flag nor the monopoly of places and official favours for the benefit or to the prejudice of any one. It is simply a poli tical fact which the royal conscience hat believed it requisite to realise, and this fact ought not to be misrepresented by plaeing its consequentss in contra diction With the spirit and will et its origin.

The Duko of Cambridge, on the representation of the heads of the Royal Engineer corps, Chatham, has autho rised the establishment of an additional department at the Royal Engineer establishment by the formation of an architectural and estimating school, for the instruction of the officers and other members of the school in that important portion of military engineering. The im portance of forming such a department has long been perceived by the instructing officers at the headquarters of the Royal Engineer corps, now that the plans and specifi cations for nearly the whole of the Government buildings required to be erected in this country and the colonies are prepared at the Royal Engineer establishment, and the cor rect estimates of the necessary outlay on each ascertained. The appointment of superintendent-instructor of the new school has been conferred on Lieut.-Col. T. B. Collinson, who will be assisted in his duties by a staff of instructors. The non-commissioned officers and men to be taught will join the new school as soon as they have completed their regular course of instruction on the field works and in pon tooning, the selection of the students being left to Co). Col linson on the recommendation of the captains of companies. Orders have been received at Chatham garrison from the Horse Guards, directing the 2d company of Royal Engi neers, under the command of Capt. Sandford, and the de tachments of Royal Engineers for service at St. Helena, to proceed on Tuesday morning to Dover, there to embark from the Admiralty pier on board the iron screw troopship Orontes, 2,812 tons, 500 horse power, Capt. W. Hire, for conveyance to St. Helena and the Mauritius, to relieve the 25th company, whose period of colonial service has expired. The Orontes will also embark a brigade of the Royal Artil• lery from Shorncliffe, which proceeds to the Mauritius to relieve the 12th brigade, on the return of the latter to Eng land. On Saturday Lieut.-Col. T. B. Collinson, in command o the Royal Engineer establishment, Chatham, commenced the half yearly inspection of the companies of Royal En gineers at headquarters, including the 24th, 37th, 38th. 39th and 40th, the 2d company, having been previously inspected by Col. Harness, C.B, The several companies were drawn up on the general parade ground at Brompton barracks, in front of the Crimean Memorial Arch, where the arms, kit, and accoutrements of the non-commissioned offic ers and men were inspected. At the termination of the inspection Lieut.-Col. Collinson saw the companies go through a p e r o e u se r n se t of company and battalion movements. T spected on Saturday will be inspected during companies not in week, and the customary examination o f th e books° and re cords of each company will bo made, as well as an inspec tion of the barrack buildings, schools, and other departments connected with the Royal Engineer establishment. On Thursday and Friday Major-Gen. Hay, p Ins ector- General of Musketry, acc om p an i e d b y Capt. M , Kay, Do puty Assistant Adjutant General of the School of Mus ketry, proceeded with his annual inspection of the company musketry returns, marksmen, &c., at the camp at Colches ter, The returns of the 4th and 9th depot battalions were inspected on Thursday, and those of the 10th battalian were inspected on Thursday, and those of the 10th battalion on Friday. The Rev. Mr Barry has succeeded the Rev. Mr Trahary as Roman Catholic chaplain to the garrison. Lieut.-Col. W. W. Barry, C. 8., Captain R. Sandham, Lieuts. H. B. Kingscote, it. AVG. Stewart, W. P. Georges, 2 staff sergeants, 14 sergeants, 4 trumpeters, and 125 rank and file, forming the A battery 4th brigade field artillery, left headquarters, Woolwich, on Saturday, for the camp at Aldershot. The squadron of vessels composing the sailing reserve in Chatham harbour having been inspected by the officials connected with the master shipwright's department and a confidential report forwarded to the Admiralty of the condition and probable value of each ship, a subsequent order from Whitehall directs a number of the vessels, chiefly consisting of the smaller class of frigates and sloops, to be sold out of the service, their condition being such as to render them unfitted for further retention in the navy. The larger class of line of battle sailing ships and 50 gun frigates are not affected by the order, and it would, there fore, appear to be the intention of the Admiralty not to dis pose of that kind of vessels in case of their services being required as tenders or blockships. A.most valuable invention connected with the night signals for her Majesty's fleet has been tried in Sheerness Harbour during several nights of the past week, and will be officially reported upon after farther trial next week by the captains who have received instructions to investigate the invention. The invention is Lieut C. J. Browrigg, Flag Lieut to Sir C. Talbot, K.C.8,, Commander in Chief at Sheerness, and the numerous advantages of his plan over those already in use will, it is believed, cause it to be at once adopted in the ser vice. Economy of time and money, together with quickness and certainty of action, aro among the advantages of this plan, and it is also so simple that all who have yet seen it used have been surprised at the ease with which it is learnt. The dockyard craft belonging to Sheerness dockyard are to bear the blue ensigns, with anchor and badge of office, instead Of the red ensign, as heretofore, by order from the Admiralty. In consequence of the increase of the establishment at Sheerness dockyard two now leading men of shipwrights have been appointed to the yard. An accident on Friday on board the ironcased steamship Ocean, 35, in the south basin at Keyham-yard, caused some alarm. A quantity of tar in buckets was placed near the stokcho to fire to warm it Ware use on her boilers, and the contents of one became ignited, As the buckets were standit , g on the iron platform the flames wore soon extinguished. The chartered Pcrew steamship Gibratar,'Capt J. llarris, arrived at Southampton at 3 o'clock on Saturday afternoon with troops from Gibraltar, which port she left on the 17th inst. They were under command of Lieut J. Napier, of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers, and in medical charge of Asist Surg J. Greig, M.B. They comprised the following :-14 pri vates of the Royal Artillery, one of the Royal Engineers, two of the 3d Buffs, 27 of the Ist battalion and 12 of the 2d battalion 9th Regiment, four of the 2d battalion 15th Regi ment, tv, o officers and six privates of the Royal Welsh Fuailiers, four urivates of the Rifle Brigade, and one of the Commissariat Staff Corps, with 8 women and 15 children.

General M'Ciellan's leakr of acceptance of the Chicago nomination has caused a split in the Dame. cratic party. The peace section declare that he has accepted the nomination without the platform ; that he does not represent the sentiments of the convene tion, and that it will not support his election. The leading peace organ, the New York Daily News, asserts that measures are on foot to reassemble, the convention and nominate a new ticket. The military news is unimportant. The accounts from Petersburg continue to state that Grant and Lee are occupied with preparations for an immediate conflict. Sheridan is still held at Berrysville by Early. Sherman remains quiescent at Atlanta, and no further progress at Mobile is reported.

SPAIN AND THE CHI.NCHA ISLANDS.—A circular has been addressed by the Peruvian Minister for Foreign Affairs to the diplomatic agents of the Republic abroad, dated Lima, August 13, conveying the impression produced on the Peruvian Government by the announce ment by the late Cabinet of Madrid of its views with regard to the occupation of the Chincha Islands. " Previous in telligence" (says the circular) " had led to the belief that Spain would act as became a civilised nation, and that she would at once disavow the insult offered by her representa. ti ve , restore the property sein A, and do everything in her power to repair the injury done. The speech of Senor P o a r c ‘ la v h e c i loe declaringin the Senate that h h t as e , however , Spanish Government dispelled thi s recognises illusion; f the independence and sovereignty of the American States, and disavowing the principle of revindication, he seeks in subsc (peg events the justification of a prior outrage—viz., the seizure of the Chinctias, and by so doing admits that Senor Salaz it has been the cause of complications more seri ous than those ho was commissioned to settle. lie refers to the strange history of the Spanish commissioner's voyage from Callao to Panama, speaks ut the attempt on his life as the undoubted act of Peruvian citizens, and as being, in all probability, instigated by the Peruvian Government. That this is Senor Pacheco's belief may be gathered from his l eat :Ipl to : t be r i v ot c n h e us i trod aplaced once nt to.' ecd e declaration that Spain will not feel satisfied upon this p o int until the Government of Peru shall have mado it clear as noon-by that it had no hard in 1 1 - o at upon Per'l' its ay tr '' ia, th l e t d e i p sp ro a v te e h it ' s i viiiiin7:iir(c c' c of l ' too puerile, and too monstrous to be discusced. Serious as is the injury inflicted upon Peru I,y the outrage of the 14th of April, the stigma Which the Spanish minister has at tempted to fix upon the republic is much more so. But Peru better understands what is due to her owndignity and honour, : She is conscious of having acted in strict accord ance with her laws, and with the courtesy required of a civilised nation ; and rho cannot• forget that she is a soya reign and independent state, possersed of all the righos en- J'3 ' 4 14 ether ]dowers.".
